Nice end to the week. Another original Victorian

Nice end to the week. Another original Victorian tile floor was cleaned and sealed here in Barrow In Furness.
Many years of dirt, soiling and contamination were removed from the tiles. After a few days of drying out properly, the tiles have been sealed with a colour-enhancing sealant. The floor now has many years of life left in it. Far better than covering them up with modern flooring. Also far better for the property. Remember, if you cover up these tiles then the moisture under the house cannot evaporate safely through the floor; as it was designed to do. Restore. Don't Replace. Get in touch about your project.

An original Victorian tile floor restoration proje

An original Victorian tile floor restoration project was completed in Barrow In Furness. The floor is original to the house and certainly, it has had a varied life. Originally this room would have been the kitchen area which is commonly why plain tiles were put down as opposed to what you see in hallways or dining areas.
The tiles were contained heavily with old adhesives and carpet backing. These floors are designed and need to breathe. The floor couldn't breathe properly with the adhesive and old floor coverings. The result is moisture needs to find a way out so it normally tracks to the outer edges of a room. The adhesives would have sweated as the moisture couldn't evaporate from the ground through the tiles as designed. This can result in discolouration of the tiles as chemicals from the adhesives soak into the tiles. Further, if the adhesives contained any linseed then that can oxidise in these tiles resulting in dark staining. The answer is to seal the tiles with a breathable, impregnating colour-enhancing sealant. This helps to mask the dark staining. This floor can now breathe which will provide long-term benefits for not just the floor but the entire room. Remember, when moisture cannot evaporate safely through the floor (as intended) then it tracks to the edges of the room and inevitably can create dampness behind skirting boards and then higher up the wall. The client's original idea was the lay vinyl flooring in the room. After discussing the idea he realised that putting PVC flooring down would just make moisture issues worse. Traditional homes were not designed for nearly impervious-to-water floor coverings to be laid. If you own a traditional home and want to learn about how the building was designed to work then I recommend The Warm Dry Home by Pete Ward. His website is also a treasure trove of information.

Do you struggle to maintain your wooden worktops o

Do you struggle to maintain your wooden worktops or do they just look used and tired? Sanding and restoration just might be the answer.. Wooden worktops should last a lifetime if used and correctly maintained. There is a high number of finishing products on the market which can be mega confusing. I have used the same product for a number of years which continues to perform as expected. There is very little dust created as all sanding equipment is attached to an extraction system. Low VOC and solvent-free finishing product used. It creates a lovely natural matt finish. Easy to maintain and rejuvenate in the future. If you struggle with your wooden worktops message me or get in touch at the details below. Tel/WhatsApp - 07568 700355

Kitchen floor clean & seal in Dalton In Furness. The homeowners have had a fabulous new kitchen and utility room installed. To finish things off they requested the stone flooring be deep cleaned and then sealed.
The sealant of choice today was Dry Treat Stain Proof Colour Intensifier. This warmed up the colours of the natural stone and left a lovely matt finish. Restore. Don't Replace. Tel / WhatsApp - 07568 700355

Another kitchen worktop restoration was completed here in Barrow In Furness. Unfortunately, the old finish was so sticky that chopping boards, cups and just about everything would stick to it. Now replaced with a solvent-free oil finish. This has left a beautiful matt finish highlighting the natural beauty of the beech worktops. Restore. Don't Replace. www.squirrelpropertyservices.com

Wooden floor sanding & refinishing project complet

Wooden floor sanding & refinishing project completed here in Barrow In Furness. This was a brilliant project to complete. I even managed to get all the heavy equipment up those stairs without my clown feet tripping me up. I worked for the homeowners earlier this year renovating the beautiful original Victorian tiles. They have big plans for the hallway (the whole house in reality) and it is going to look stunning when they are finished. Rather than modernising everything they are tactfully restoring and adding to the property to make it a really special home. Old pine flooring is a great renovation project. With an awesome ultra matt 2-pack lacquer the final result is really something. A superb base that will set the tone for the furnishings. Restore. Don't Replace. Tel/ WhatsApp - 07568 700355

Worn worktops turned into a thing of beauty. All work was completed while the client was on a relaxing (hopefully) holiday. Wooden worktops get a bad rep for high maintenance. If done correctly and with the right products, sanding shouldn't be required again. The protection can be easily topped up in the future. With a super short cure time, worktops can be put back into full the next morning after the work is completed. Wooden worktop restoration at its best. Restore. Don't Replace.
